Everyone knows Stan Lee as the septuagenarian star of Kevin Smith\u2019s slacker comedy Mallrats, but did you know he also dabbled in comic book writing (maybe that\u2019s how he got the part in the movie)? An even littler known fact\u2014and one that is frankly more mind blowing\u2014is that, before his passing in late 2018, Stan Lee loved coffee, particularly Onyx Coffee Lab<\/a> coffee. So when the Stan Lee Foundation<\/a> wanted to create the first-ever signature blend<\/a> to honor the legend, Onyx was the obvious choice.<\/p>\n According to Baxter + Co<\/a>, the company selling the exclusive collaboration, Lee was a fan of blends that contained coffees from Colombia, which makes his love of Onyx seem like a no-brainer; if there\u2019s one thing Onyx does well (there isn\u2019t, there\u2019s like a million things), it’s coffee from Colombia. To create a blend that would receive the approval of the man himself, the northwest Arkansas roaster looked back through Lee\u2019s order history with them to find the flavors he gravitated toward: slight berry, baker’s chocolate, raw honey, and sweet tea. The resulting blend is, of course, Colombia-focused\u2014a honey processed offering from the Aponte Village\u2014though the other component is as tightly kept a secret as the true identity of Iron Man. Which is to say, we know exactly what it is: the washed Ethiopia Worka.<\/p>\n Proceeds from the sale of each of these incredible looking bags of coffee designed by Jeremy Teff<\/a>\u2014featuring perhaps the best cameo from a man that loved making cameos\u2014will go to the Stan Lee Foundation. From Baxter + Co:<\/p>\n The coffee bag and design was intended to commemorate and honor Stan Lee\u2019s legacy & support the efforts of the foundation.\u00a0Stan wrote stories and created characters that empowered his readers to know that we each have our strengths and weaknesses but by believing in ourselves, we have the ability to overcome our adversities. He wanted to create programs that would help embolden our youth through attaining literacy, continuing in education, and appreciating the arts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Currently in pre-order<\/a> the Stan Lee Foundation Signature Blend retails for $30 for a 12-ounce bag (though Baxtor + Co has a variety of ways to get 10-20% off) and will ship on Wednesday, May 29th.
